Link structure

I have site A, B, C, D, and E. They belong to the same niche, but each site is different in that each is focused on a more specific area.

Site A receives the most traffic and has been around for a longer while. But the other sites receive some traffic also. Site A ranks first page for most of its main keywords, but not really number 1. Site B, C, D, E also receive traffic but not as much as site A.

Is a link structure where B, C, D, and E all point one way to A more beneficial? Or would it be better if I crosslinked all of these sites? What is the best way to cross link them (i.e. should I put links to each of the other sites on every page of these sites, or just put a single links page for each site and use that to link to each of the other sites?)

I just read about it from Chris Beasley's site. Okay, so since my sites are related, I could crosslink my websites. Is it enough to put a link to each and every one of my website only on the home page? Or do I have to put the links to every other site on each of the pages?
